Zzzzzz....

Seriously. This banter about the word 'brittle' is why I rarely spend time on DP forums. What little time I spend here, I often think, "If these guys spent as much time behind the camera as they do bantering about technical (and language) minutiae..."

Also, I shot my Fuji 23 lens with a shotgun, drown it in acid, and used it as a baseball for an entire season. STILL WORKS. AS A BASEBALL.

Anyway—most importantly—thanks for the review. Buying a 50mm today.

You know? A dead thread is dead unless someone resurrects it. You resurrected it after five months of entombment only to criticize it.  Yet the consequence of your post is to breathe new life into something that you reject.

The primary offense of the OP, in my opinion, had nothing to do with "brittle;" it was using DPReview to promote his Youtube stuff.  He actually provided us little information about the lenses in his "review" here, using DPReview instead as a gateway to try to get us to hit on his Youtube stuff.  The whole thing was lame.  Thanks for breathing new life into something you didn't like.
